Chapter 541 Shen Zhinian Punishes Concubine Shu to Kneel
A smile finally slowly appeared on Xiao Yueying's face.
But thinking of the fate of the Fang family, her smile gradually froze and she burst into tears: "Cousin, I am sorry for you..."
"Don't worry, even if I am dying, I will use my last moments to avenge you!"
The Fang family has been in collusion with King Jin for a long time.
Otherwise, how could a mere imperial merchant help Xiao Yueying accomplish so many things?
Many of the things she did in the harem depended on the support of Prince Jin.
Xiao Yueying's cousin told King Jin where the Fang family's huge wealth was hidden, and Xiao Yueying was the only one in the world who knew it.
In order to achieve his grand plan, Prince Jin did not hesitate to mobilize all the power in the palace to help Xiao Yueying fake her death and leave the palace.
Hearing the sound of the carriage, Li Cairong said in surprise: "Master, it must be the people sent by His Royal Highness Prince Jin to pick us up!"
When several men in black drove over in a carriage, they turned out to be Prince Jin's men just as Li Cairong had guessed.
Xiao Yueying got into the carriage with the help of Li Cairong. As she slowly left, her eyes were full of resentment.
His Majesty!
Virtuous Concubine!
There is also the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion!
She will never forget how they brought her to this end!
Xiao Yueying knew that the position that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin had always wanted to seize was that position.
But in the end, it is not certain who will use whom!
If she could borrow the power of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to pull His Majesty off the throne... then, with the support of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the one who would legitimately ascend the throne would definitely be the Third Prince!
……
Because the whereabouts of the Fang family's huge wealth were unknown, the emperor had no mood to enter the harem for several days.
On this day, Shen Zhinian was walking in the Imperial Garden and unexpectedly met Concubine Shu who was taking the eldest princess to appreciate the plum blossoms.
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other!
The two of them had the same rank. Although Shen Zhinian ranked ahead of Concubine Shu, according to palace rules, Concubine Shu did not have to bow when she saw her. A slight nod would be enough to greet her.
They had already torn their relationship apart a long time ago. With Concubine Shu's temper, how could she possibly greet Shen Zhinian in a nice way?
If Concubine Shu had not remembered Empress Dowager Liu's instructions to keep away from Shen Zhinian for the time being, she would have probably stepped forward and started a fight with him.
She glared at Shen Zhinian fiercely, snorted coldly, and was about to leave with the princess.
The eldest princess bowed to Shen Zhinian with a smile: "Yun'er pays respects to the virtuous lady!"
No matter how much hatred there is between her and Concubine Shu, it has nothing to do with the child.
Shen Zhinian half-knelt down, looked at the eldest princess straight in the eye, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite."
"Is Yun'er here to enjoy the plum blossoms too?"
The eldest princess could actually vaguely feel that something was not right between her mother and Empress Xian.
But she felt that it was very impolite not to say hello when seeing elders.
Didn’t mother say the same thing?
So the eldest princess nodded obediently: "Yes, my virtuous lady."
Concubine Shu frowned unhappily: "Yun'er, come here!"
The eldest princess had no choice but to smile at Shen Zhinian and trot to Concubine Shu.
Chu Xiyan has been serving her all the time.
Shen Zhinian's gaze fell on the master and servant, and his eyes deepened.
This little palace maid named Xiyan had expressed her willingness to be loyal to Xiao Mingzi through her mouth a long time ago.
But she found a way to go to Yongshou Palace to serve.
Tsk... Shen Zhinian always felt that Xiyan looked young but was not simple.
The eldest princess raised her delicate little face, her beautiful big eyes full of innocence: "Mother, did you have a quarrel with the virtuous lady?"
"Isn't there a saying in the book you used to teach Yun'er that goes 'It's easier to resolve a feud than to make one'?"
"Then mother and virtuous lady should stop quarreling and hold hands to reconcile, okay?"
She really likes her mother, and she also likes the virtuous queen...
Concubine Shu had been holding back, not wanting to have a conflict with Shen Zhinian. But ever since she separated from the emperor, the most important thing to her was the eldest princess.
Seeing that even the eldest princess was so partial to the bitch Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu couldn't stand it anymore!
But she didn't want to let the princess see her angry look, so she said to the nanny beside her: "Take the princess away, don't let her catch a cold."
"Slave, you obey!"
Although the eldest princess was reluctant, she was still surrounded by her nannies and left.
Concubine Shu then took a few steps forward, walked in front of Shen Zhinian, and glared at her fiercely: "Concubine Xian, if you have anything to say, just come to me!"
"I am warning you, if you dare to touch a hair of Yun'er, I will fight you to the death!"
Shen Zhinian had never thought about, nor did he bother to do anything to the child.
But she knew that even if she said this, Concubine Shu would not believe it.
Just like if Concubine Shu said that she would not have any bad intentions towards the Fourth Prince, Shen Zhinian would still be on guard against her.
Therefore, Shen Zhinian was too lazy to explain, and just looked at Concubine Shu, smiling and saying: "I remember that not long ago in the Yangxin Palace, Concubine Shu kept saying that I was also involved in the murder of the Empress Dowager."
"I have asked you before, if this matter has nothing to do with me, what would you do?"
"Does Concubine Shu still remember the promise you made?"
Shu Fei naturally recalled the scene at that time, and her expression could not help but feel a little uncomfortable...
However, there were so many palace maids watching around. If she broke her promise and gave Concubine Xian a reason to laugh at her, how could she live her life in the future?
Concubine Shu took a deep breath and gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I remember. I said at the time that if this matter has nothing to do with you, you can do whatever you want!"
Shen Zhinian glanced at her and said, "In that case, Concubine Shu should kneel here for an hour and reflect on your mistakes!"
Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself.
If Shen Zhinian doesn't use Concubine Shu to establish her authority today, if something happens in the palace in the future, everyone will have the courage to throw dirty water on her.
She just wanted to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys, to let everyone see what the consequences would be if they attacked her at will!
Under other circumstances, Concubine Shu certainly wouldn't let Shen Zhinian humiliate her like this. However, she had said it herself, and if she broke her promise, wouldn't that be a slap in her own face?
Concubine Shu could only grit her teeth, suppress her resentment, and kneel down straight.
Cuizhu and Xiaohuazi also knelt down.
There was a strong hatred in Concubine Shu's eyes!
She remembered today's shame!
She only hated that Concubine Xian was too cunning!
If the crime of murdering her aunt was really pinned on her, Concubine Xian would have gone to accompany Xiao Yueying long ago. How could she still be so arrogant in front of her? !
Shen Zhinian didn't look at Concubine Shu again. He placed his slender fingers on the back of Handan's hand and left slowly.
Sure enough, just as Shen Zhinian expected, this news caused quite a stir after it spread in the harem!
The influence of Concubine Shu is still there, especially after the Empress Dowager regained consciousness, no one dared to offend her openly.
The virtuous concubine actually, actually punished the other party to kneel in the imperial garden for an hour? !
